Working in Billericay

In Billericay we cover CM12; we also cover Basildon, 4.5 miles away, and Wickford.

In Billericay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have young children at home in Billericay, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. For a busy Billericay household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.

Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

Decisions to make first

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

Is the home survey in Billericay really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CM12 in Billericay?

Yes. We cover all of Billericay, including CM12, and nearby Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you fit a separate bath and shower in a family bathroom?

Usually only in a room of about 6 m² or more, which leaves space for a 1700 mm bath, a shower enclosure, a basin and a WC without the room feeling crowded. In a smaller room, a shower bath with a screen gives most of the benefit. We test both layouts against your measurements at the survey.
